Dana White is putting his money where his mouth is in backing podcaster Bob Menery to drag out of his planned fighting debut.
Menery insists that Adin Ross has agreed to advertise an MMA fight between him and former NFL star Johnny Manziel – who famously won the Heisman trophy as a freshman in college. He claims that the show will happen on May 16 as the most recent Brand Risk Promotions event, with an undercard of boxing.
Who wins in a fight? Dana White or Eddie Hearn
Dana White has claimed to be open to a boxing match with Eddie Hearn: Who do you think that would win in the event that they met within the ring?
Nonetheless, White has seen Menery come and go from countless projects and believes that he is not going to make the walk as planned in Miami. And if he does, the UFC boss has vowed to skip his own event on the identical night and travel from Vegas to look at his pal compete.
Dana White backs Bob Menery to skip Johnny Manziel fight
In a video shared to Instagram tonight, Dana White claimed that he was asked by Bob Menery who he would bet on when he fights Johnny Manziel later this yr. The UFC boss laughed off the concept, telling Menery that he would sooner put money on him pulling out than either result.
And a betting company actually gave White odds based on probability, so he has put down a whopping $10,000 on the opportunity of Menery refusing to point out up in any respect. “So that you guys have seen all of the stuff that’s gone on with me and Nelk and Bob Menery through the years,” White told fans.
“Menery is back and he has supposedly signed a deal on Adin Ross’ fight show down in Miami to fight Johnny Manziel, okay? So Menery hits me up and says ‘who’re you betting on?’ I said ‘I’m betting on you don’t even show up, that’s my bet’.
“Menery never does anything he says he’s going to do. So Adin Ross’ fight show in Miami, Menery vs Manziel, Polymarket put a bet on it where you’ll be able to bet whether he shows up or not… There’s no way 49 per cent of individuals consider in Bob Menery and that he’s going to point out up.
“There’s no way in hell, so I’m betting $10,000 Menery doesn’t show up. And Bob, should you do and the night before it looks such as you’re going to fight, I’m flying to Miami to look at this one.”
